Most people (except Kaitlin) who were on the internet in 2013 will remember Kai, the home-free surfer dude hitchhiker who saved a woman from a madman after he drove his car into a utility worker in Fresno. The viral interview quickly lead to talk show appearances and reality show opportunities but the fame was short-lived when Kai was wanted for murder not even four months later.
Music at the end of the episode is by Kaplow, find her new EP "Room to Grow" on Spotify or wherever you listen to music!

Madoff was behind the largest Ponzi scheme in history costing his investors over $60 billion dollars. Named a "mastermind" by some, we talk about the case, why it seems it lasted so long, and how it was seemingly fueled by big names looking the other way and pure dumb luck.
